Elisabeth Ashlie Blog — The Monthly Edit

Spring is (very nearly) here, and we’re grateful for the promise of warmer weather and longer days ahead (especially as we practice social distancing)! Here are a few things we are loving (or looking forward to wearing) this month:

1. Regardless of the weather you’re experiencing, our Magnolia Earrings are a fun way to incorporate a little pop of spring in your look!
2. This Lip Glowy Balm is a cult favorite, and the light tint is perfect for days you don’t feel like putting on much makeup, but still want a little color. 
3. The Scent Keeper was the February book for Reese’s Book Club, and it does not disappoint. It’s a quick read with great character development. 
4. If you need a new podcast to listen to, we recommend A Beautiful Mess Podcast. Elise and Emma offer practical, helpful, and light advice for decorating, parenting, and running a business!
5. This aerie shirt is the cutest! We’re pretty happy that tie-dye is making a comeback!
6. If you’re looking to drink more water, but want to be mindful of waste, consider grabbing a cute reusable bottle, like this YETI tumbler!
7. These Caslon sandals are on mega-sale, and we love the cheerful golden color!

Travel - Mike and I vacationed in Maui a couple of weeks ago, and I shared our travel diary on my blog. If you’re considering a trip to Maui in the future (or if you, like me, just like to read about travel in general) check it out!

Get Excited - Our Fall Collection launches September 9, and we can’t wait for you to see the jewelry, candles, and other goods we’ve curated for autumn. Be sure to mark your calendars!

Read - The last time we asked for book suggestions on Instagram, several of you recommended the book, “Daisy Jones and the Six.” We’re happy to report that it lived up to the hype! If you haven’t read it, grab a copy!

Swoon - We love this creative and dreamy makeover of a carport turned covered porch on A Beautiful Mess.

Bake - We’re huge fans of a good make-ahead recipe, and these egg, bacon, and cheese biscuits look like the perfect, easy breakfast meal.
